PYSEC-2026-869
OpenStack Compute (Nova)'s VMWare driver vulnerable to denial of service
Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-869 — nova: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'nova>=2014.1.3'Details
The VMWare driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) before 2014.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the quota limit and cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by putting the VM into the rescue state, suspending it, which puts into an ERROR state, and then deleting the image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-2573.
